R&A announces noposix-1.0a , a workaround for NEXTSTEP's posix bugs

R&A announces a solution for a POSIX append/write bug that has haunted NEXTSTEP 3.x from the moment that NeXT equipped it with a POSIX library. The bug is in the kernel, and has survived up to OPENSTEP 4.2 (which is however shipped without the embarrassing posix library).

noposix-1.0a is freeware, see the accompanying file LicenseAgreement.rtf for details.

noposix-1.0a can be found at ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/next/noposix/

noposix-1.0a is functionally equivalent to noposix-1.0. The only difference is a change in license, from complicated to free and open source under a BSD-style license.
